Medigap is the official name given to healthcare policies usually called Medicare Supplemental Insurance. Medigap Plans supplement the gaps in Original protection that are left by Medicare Parts A & B.
A Medigap Insurance Plan is not an substitute for Original Medicare like Medicare Advantage Policy, but instead works in conjunction with Original Medicare.

When you want medical attention with a specialty treatment center, doctor or hospital, you only have to show your Medicare Supplemental card to the doctor, specialty treatment center, or hospital. Everything then will be taken care of for you.
Fact is,, after your claim is submitted with Medicare for Medicare Part B charges, Medicare usually reroute your claim direct to your Medicare Supplement Provider without you needing to deal with any hassles..

Mysterious Mask of Pregnancy?
Can you explain the causes of melasma? Are there any natural herbs or ointments that can alleviate those ugly brown blotches?
Answer (Published 11/20/2002)
Reviewed on 3/09/2010
Melasma (also called chloasma) is a common skin disorder, especially among pregnant women, those taking some types of birth control pills and those on hormone replacement therapy. It typically shows up as brown blotches on the forehead, cheeks and upper lip but sometimes occurs on the forearms. Because the blotches often appear on both sides of the face, the condition has been called the "mask of pregnancy." According to the American Academy of Dermatology, this condition occurs in up to 70 percent of pregnant women.

Other than the hormonal connection, the causes of melasma aren't well understood, and no one knows why hormones should lead to the changes in pigmentation. However, the condition has also been seen among some people taking drugs that sensitize you to sunlight and some with thyroid and ovarian disorders. It is more prevalent in tropical climates where sun exposure is greatest.
Fortunately, melasma fades and the skin gradually returns to its normal color after delivery or after hormonal medications are discontinued. No discomfort or other symptoms are associated with the skin changes.
I know of no herbs or natural remedies that can eliminate the darkened pigmentation of melasma. Since sun exposure seems to play a role in development of this condition, you can prevent and help eliminate it by staying out of the sun and wearing sunscreen daily. Dermatologists treat melasma in non-pregnant patients with Retin-A (tretinoin) often in combination with a bleaching cream containing hydroquinone. Another treatment, azelaic acid cream, may help by inhibiting pigment production in the skin. Chemical peels may be recommended if the other treatments don't help. In severe cases, dermatologists may use lasers to remove the discolored layer of skin.

Run script on port connection
Hello everybody,
I'm not so smart with linux and I need to find a solution to a problem that's conceptually very easy.
I need to run a script that already works fine when a connection comes in a specific (any) port. I mean when I ping my server on a specific port, say 126.96.36.199:123 the linux server runs a specific script in a PATH folder.
How can I get this?

Roseate colours on heaven's high arch
Are beginning to mix with the blue and the gray,
Sol now commences his wonderful march,
And the forests' wing'd denizens sing from the spray.
Gaily the rose
Is seen to unclose
Each of her leaves to the brightening ray.
Waves on the lake
Rise, sparkle, and break:

It's not an all new car and has been around in the international markets for quite some time but the prospect of Mercedes-Benz spawning an all new segment here in India is just a sign of exciting times ahead. While our driving experience was limited to the Mercedes-Benz plant in Chakan, it was more than enough to give us an idea about this compact people mover from the three pointed star.
To give you a little bit of history, the B-Class came into existence in 2005 and was pretty much an enlarged A-Class with the same engine and suspension. It even retained the distinctive sandwich floor concept which was meant for the battery-powered version of the A-Class. Now in its second generation, the all new B-Class or the W246 shares nothing with its predecessor and is pretty much a completely different animal.
This was the first time I had laid my eyes on the B-Class and the first thing that hit me was the dimensions. Right from the W124 days we Indians have been fed with the best of Stuttgart's luxobarges and SUV's which have naturally led us to believe that the three pointed star comes only with generously sized vehicles. The B-Class then will pretty much change that perspective. About a size up on the Hyundai i-20 and the likes, the B-Class comes across as a rather large hatch.
What we had was an import straight from Germany and as a result looked rather sporty with the well endowed 225 section 18 inch wheels (expect a more sober size for the Indian spec car) that filled those large wheel arches quite well. In fact it looks quite similar to the R-Class which falls in the Grand Sports Tourer category. The character line has been used quite boldly and slides all the way from the hip to the lower front of the car. The upswept headlights along with that twin slatted grille give the car quite an imposing front. All in all it's a great design which is sure to appeal to all.
Opening the large doors led us to a rather dark but spacious cabin. The interiors were all black with silver accents all around. Expect a change here as well since black interiors for our climate is a strict no-no. The fascia is a typical Mercedes design with everything laid out ergonomically. The seats felt great and the view is extremely friendly with nothing obstructing the view. A nice slick multimedia screen sits in your face giving you all the audio/car info you need. But that's about it. The lack of a million buttons on the dashboard does make this Benz feel a little out of place but then I was still getting used to a Mercedes without the additional frills.
Moving to the back bench is just as interesting. There is loads of space and even with 6 footer like our resident road tester Dilip, there was more than enough legroom. Sitting three abreast is also quite comfortable thanks to the B-Class' wide girth. What is also noticeable is the ease with which you can get in and out of the car. Ingress-egress is brilliant thanks to the high roof and the wide opening doors.
Twisting the typical key fob, the B-Class came to life with a rather buzzy note. Buzzy I say because resting under the hood of this B200 was a 1.6 litre CGI unit pushing out a very impressive 156 horses. However India is expected to get the B180 variant with the same 1.6 litre unit but pushing out a tamer 122 PS. The petrol will be followed by a diesel too and we think it will be the B180 CDI sporting the 1.8 common rail diesel and pushing out about 136 PS.

Like everything cavia developed, Drakengard 3 looks to feature its share of weirdness, most prominently seen thus far in the character of Zero, who has a flower growing from her eye socket. You'll be able to see this, some lovely artwork, and screens showing off both land- and air-based dragon combat in our brand new gallery.
Drakengard 3 is due out sometime in 2013 for the PS3 in Japan. A North American release has not yet been announced, though since we insist on referring to the title by its North American series name, we're clearly hoping/expecting that it will make the trip over here.

EMAIL TO FRIEND ADD TO WISHLIST Fun fact: Most zombies got black blood on account of their advanced decomposition and the lack of oxygen in their cells. I mean, that would be a fun fact if they weren't completely made up, but it makes a lot of sense. Why would zombies have live, vivacious, red blood pumping out of their wounds? Why would they still look human? Doesn't hold water with me. That's why we've got the Zombie Black Blood Caps for making your zombie costume look that much more supernatural this Halloween.Plus, if you don't want to go as a zombie, you can always use the Zombie Black Blood Caps to go as the Black Oil from The X-Files (man, that show used to be awesome).

It was as gentle a demotion --- if there is such a thing --- as anyone could expect to receive when they were presented with the bad news.

(HOLLYWOOD, CA) -- Sex Z Pictures' maverick owner Bo Kenney is in one of his great festive moods and you and the entire porn industry are invited to come to Hollywood for what promises to be the most spectacular bash of 2006. Sex Z Pictures' 'Drink, Decline and Grab Some Behind' porn party kicks off at 8PM Friday, March 10th at the famed Knitting Factory in Hollywood.
The VIP industry-only party is expected to attract a 'who's who' of the LA porn scene including hundreds of porn stars, starlets, directors, producers and other entertainment types. Sex Z Pictures' maverick owner Bo Kenney knows a thing or two about great porn parties and has bought out the entire club for the evening offering a complimentary full premium bar which guarantees that this will be the party not to miss.
"We're going to have some wild fun Friday night and I'm looking forward to seeing the best that the adult industry has to offer," sated Kenney. The last party that Sex Z Pictures co-sponsored was the monstrous Burbank soundstage party that has gone down as the greatest porn party ever.
Sex Z Pictures has been associated with the biggest and best adult industry parties over the past couple of years and this one seems guaranteed to be amazing by virtue of the complimentary all night drinks and the gracious spirit of Bo and Sex Z Pictures. The fact that hundreds of cute porn starlets will be packing the party doesn't hurt either.
"Don't confuse this party with typical porn parties that so many other people throw. This is going to be an amazing night that will be talked about so you really don't want to miss it," stated Jeff Mullen of All Media Play who is organizing the party.
A $1000.00 cash prize giveaway will be presented to the female who can shake her 'behind' the best live on stage and all girls are encouraged to give their ass a shake because it usually takes a porn starlet at least 3 hours to make that kind of money elsewhere.
A full red carpet VIP entry will lead guests into the spacious nightclub where hip-hop and rock music will be played. A special live concert performance will also take place as Sex Z Pictures' 'the Decline of Western Civilization Part 69: The Porno Years' plays on the big screens.
The club is not open to the general public, so those wishing to get on the VIP only guest list are encouraged to email firstname.lastname@example.com. Please mention the company you are associated with and the names of guests in your party.
Please make sure you have a few girls in your entourage if you are coming with multiple guys as this will not be a sausage factory event. We look forward to seeing you this coming Friday, March 10th.
Sex Z Pictures 'Drink, Decline & Grab Some Behind' Porn Party Friday, March 10th doors open 8PM. Knitting Factory 7021 Hollywood, Blvd, Hollywood, CA 90028

California Dream Act Repeal: EPIC FAIL!
Supporters of a state initiative to repeal the California Dream Act Governor Jerry Brown signed into law last year announced today they failed to obtain the 500,000 signatures required to get a proposition on the ballot. See what happens when you have your Mexican gardener's wife distribute petitions? Buh-dum-dump . . .
The California Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act is a package of state laws authored by state Sen. Gil Cedillo (D-Los Angeles) that allow children who were brought into the U.S. under the age of 16 without proper visas/immigration documentation, and who have attended school on a regular basis and otherwise meet in-state tuition and GPA requirements, to apply for public and private student financial aid benefits. Unlike the national Dream Act that died in the U.S. Senate last year, California's version does not provide a path to citizenship.
Assemblyman Tim Donnelly (R-San Bernardino), the state Assembly's only teabagger, revealed this morning the campaign to nuke California's Dream Act was only able to get 447,514 signatures to submit to the secretary of state by today's deadline. Many more than half a million Juan Hancocks would have been needed as thousands would have no-doubt been deemed invalid.
You may also know Donnelly from the police blotter. The legislator was detained Wednesday for trying to board a plane with a loaded handgun in his briefcase.
Don't know if that was the Suede Denim Secret Police.

As regulars here know, I am fascinated by unusual vehicles, and by almost all commercial vehicles. Whereas cars tend to be reticent about making any sort of personal statement, commercial vehicles have to communicate. They have to radiate an atmosphere. They have to dress themselves like they're going on the pull in a nightclub. Well, they don't have to. But most commercial vehicles are an opportunity to do marketing, so why turn it down? And these vehicles consequently radiate as many different atmospheres as there are commercial purposes being pursued in and with them.
Here are a couple of vans I spied today:
Both are somewhat self-conscious, I think. There is a lack of earnestness here, a certain ironic distance, a certain slightly bogus artifice, not to say Art, involved.
But, all part of what makes wandering about in London such an endlessly entertaining pastime.
Sausage Man website here. I tried googling "Oliver London", but all I got was a lot of stuff about a stage musical. The small tricycle van looks oriental to me, and that its presence outside an oriental restaurant is not coincidental.
Or: Spoughts thoughts? You choose.
Sport (spought) has been good to me of late. Last summer, England won the Ashes. My local cricket team, Surrey, got promoted to division one, and also got to the final of the fifty overs county knock-out tournament. England then defeated South Africa in South Africa. England (a different England but still England) won the Six Nations rugby Grand Slam. And now (back to cricket again) England have got to the last four of the twenty overs slog competition, alongside the Windies, India and New Zealand. Few expect England to win this. But then, few expected England to get to the last four. No South Africa (beaten amazingly by England). No Australia (beaten today by India (aka Virat Kholi)). No Pakistan or Sri Lanka. But: England still involved.
Concerning the Grand Slam, the best thing about it was England winning all its games, but otherwise it was … a bit crap. The recently concluded World Cup, in which England did rather less well loomed too large over it. The World Cup featured no Six Nations sides in its last four, and when watching our local lads stressing and straining against each other you couldn't help (a) thinking that the Southern Hemispherians would murder them, and (b) that a lot of the best Six Nations players seemed to be Southern Hemispherians themselves. I mean, what kind of rugby world are we living in when the most threatening French back is called Scott Spedding and was born in Krugersdorp, South Africa?
The Six Nations was worth it just to hear Jonathan Davies, a man whose commentating I have had reason to criticise in the past, say that a certain game is "crucial", and that Wales have "matured":
As for the twenty-twenty slogfest now in full slog, well, I have been rooting for England (England's best batsman being a bloke called Root), but also for Afghanistan. You might think that as a devout anti-Islamist, which I definitely am, I would be rooting for the Muslim teams to lose. But actually, I think sport is one of the leading antidotes to Islamo-nuttery, and it is my understanding that the Islamo-nutters regard sport and sports-nuttery not as an expression of Islamo-nuttery, but rather, as a threat to it. Sports nuttery ultimately causes fellowship with the infidels rather than hatred of them, underneath all the youthful antagonisms which it does indeed inflame. It's hard not to get pally with people when you play or follow games with them and against them, especially as you get older, and remember previous hostilities with fondness rather than anger.
So, in short: go Afghanistan! The Afghanistan twenty-twenty cricket team, I mean. Afghanistan gave England a hell of a fright and nearly beat them. And yesterday, they actually did beat the West Indies, even though it didn't count for so much because the Windies had already got through to the semis and the Afghans would be going home now no matter what. But, even so, beating the Windies was a big deal, and the cricket world will have noticed, big time.
Here is Cricinfo, at the moment of Afghan triumph:
I love it when a T20 game really boils up, and they put "dot ball" in bold letters, the way they usually only write "OUT" and "FOUR" and "SIX" and "dropped", or, as in this case, "an amazing, brave, brilliant running catch!"
And soon after that climax to the game, came this:
Chris Gayle is quite a character. Having scored a brilliant century against England that won the Windies that match and put England in the position of having to win everything from then on, his commitment to the West Indian cause is not in doubt, as it might have been had he celebrated like this with the Afghans without having done any other notable things in this tournament. He has quarrelled with West Indian cricket bureaucrats over the years, and has definitely seemed to have like playing for the Bangalore Royal Challengers more than for the West Indies.
His demeanour after today's Afghan game is in sharp contrast to his lordly impassivity after taking the wicket of David Miller of South Africa, which reduced South Africa to 47-5, a predicament from which they failed to recover
One of the delights of virtually following this tournament is that it has been possible to watch little videos of dramatic moments, like the one of Gayle taking this wicket and then not celebrating very much. The graphic additions to this posting are merely screen captures. Clicking on them accomplishes nothing. But if you go to the original commentary from which I took my graphics, you can click on the little black video prompts, and get a little video of the drama just described.
Also: Happy Easter.
One of the very best The Wires! photos that Dezeen has ever published.
Seoul-based ThePlus Architects was tasked with accommodating all of these activities within a heavily restricted site in Seogyo-dong, measuring six metres across and 10 metres deep, and flanked by taller buildings on three sides.
Here is another picture of the same building, from the same report:
The Wires! are, as is usual, not mentioned in the text of the report. But the photographer is, I think, intensely aware of The Wires! In the first picture he searches out a rare shot in which The Wires! don't interrupt the starkly white modernity of the building's exterior. And in this second shot, where there are far fewer of The Wires!, he deliberately lines up the roof of the building with some of The Wires! that remain.
But that alignment is not merely something he saw. It is almost as if it is part of the design. It's almost as if the building has been designed, not just to stay out of the way of The Wires!, but to include The Wires! in the overall composition.
But, as I say, no mention of any of that in the text of the piece.
Question: Once The Wires! are installed in this or that particular place, are they likely subsequently to change very much? For my surmise to make sense, it would need to be that once The Wires! are in place, there tend to remain in the same place.
Well, the New Year (even though the New Year is actually getting quite old now) Resolution here, to blog early, and sometimes even to blog often, is working well. I haven't delayed going to bed because of this blog for about a week, and I sense that this may even continue.
Friday is my day for cats, and now also for other creatures, and already this Friday, even though it not yet even the middle of the day, there has already been a posting here about dogs. Republican dogs. That posting is right below this one, but there's the link anyway.
And here now is another creature posting, about a truly unique other creature - half cat, yes, but also half dog, half bee, half zebra, and wholly suitcase - of the sort that kids can ride, at airports, to stop them getting bored:
Apparently Trunki made the first of these, and then some Hong Kong guys did a cheaper knock-off, and Trunki complained. Trunki lost.
These cases - the physical (suit)case and the legal case - illustrate the fine line that divides a design from an idea:
But five Supreme Court justices unanimously disagreed, and ruled in favour of PMS on Wednesday – stating that while it had "sympathy for Magmatic", the "Design Right is intended to protect designs not ideas".
It looks a lot like a design being copied to me. Not that I mind. And actually, I think the Hong Kong version is better, because the original can't make up its mind whether its eyes are eyes or horns. HK case resolves this by having eyes and horns.
PMS website: here.
I did a Samizdata posting earlier today, soliciting help in decyphering a piece of text in a photo. Earlier this month I photoed this lady holding up a message for the lady she was videoing to read. Trouble is, the text was in something that looked like it was Russian.
According to Samizdata commenter Alex, the text is Kazakh. It would appear that the lady being videoed was making a video message for her sister. I expect further details to follow.
Ah, Kazakhstan. Known in Britain mostly for being the home of Borat.
As it happens there's a Borat photo I've been meaning to stick up here, of Borat on the back of a bus. Here is that photo, on the right below, together with another Borat related photo which is one of my all time favourite snaps. I took this Borats-plural photo, on the left here, in Piccadilly, on March 9th 2007, and it has been shown here already, on the day after it was taken. The Borat on the bus photo was taken on March 14th, and is being shown here for the first time:

When I googled for more serious Kazakhstan information, the most interesting info I found was definitely this. Blog and learn.
The modified cliché is a standard method to spice up writing. You take a too-much-repeated clutch of words, like a metaphor so stale that you hardly notice the metaphor any more, and you alter it or add something to it to bring things alive again. (Said Vinegar Joe Stillwell of Louis Mountbatten: "There's less to that young man than meets the eye." I still remember something Harry Phibbs wrote about how he was "eager to intrude upon private grief".)
Something similar can be done with architecture, on a far more grand scale:
The individual bricks, so to speak, of this architectural pile are impeccably dull. Yet they are combined in a very dramatic way. Which makes the impeccable dullness that is thus still very visible all the more entertaining.
Modifying a cliché has particular architectural advantages, because it means that you already know how the cliché bits work, because that's been done thousands of times already. (See this earlier posting.)
Of course, combining them in this new way could create all manner of problems of different sorts, so you still need to be careful. But, despite the dangers, I like this.
Indeed. An Asian couple, photoed this afternoon, in Green Park.
The hooded guy crouching in the middle of my shot was the official photographer. The photographer standing on the right was an interloper. As was I of course. Sorry about all the muck on my lens. Photoing into the sun will do that. Personally I think that can actually add to the sunny feeling of things.
Next, my definite favourite shot of this photo-session. The guy running off stage right, has just thrown the white thing into the air and is trying to get out of the picture:
And here is one more, for luck, taken moments later:
Sometimes leaves are okay.
Sometimes, even rather pretty.
I wish them well.
Here comes another of those Don't Mention The Wires!!! stories, at favourite-internet-place-of-mine, Dezeen.
I have rather unkindly sliced a vertical slice out of one of the photos, of a truly extraordinary post (I mean a physical post in the road - not a piece of internetting), which is covered from the top almost to the bottom in The Wires!!!
But, maybe this is an oblique reference to The Wires!!!:
"The reason we constructed frames was to filter the surrounding environment, which changes fast in an unforeseeable manner," explained architects Hyoungnam Lim and Eunjoo Roh.
They constantly take away some The Wires!!!, and install new The Wires!!!, in different places. Could that be what architects Hyoungnam Lim and Eunjoo Roh are, rather delicately, referring to?
What all these Don't Mention The Wires!!! stories suggest to me is that these are countries (the other big one being Japan) where electronic communication arrived when people were still very poor in other ways, and any politician who tried to restrain The Wires!!! to make them prettier, but more expensive, would be hanged by them. Western trained aesthetes don't like it, but know there's nothing they can do.
I also recall hearing once about how in Japan, all buildings tend to be more temporary, because of earthquakes and all timber construction and suchlike, and that even religious buildings get torn down and rebuilt in another spot from time to time. And if it's temporary, who cares what it looks like? If they want to make it pretty, fine. If not, also fine. If The Wires!!! will soon be different The Wires!!!, no worries. Let The Wires!!! go where they want.
But what do I know? I'm only babbling on like this to make entirely sure that this posting is longer than the post.
Looking at this some more, I do wonder if those architects maybe persuaded the electricians to rearrange these particular South Korean The Wires!!!, so that they are less visible from the Architecture, and if those frames, mentioned above, are as they are so that The Wires!!! cannot be seen through them. They act like blinkers, in other words.
If so, it should have been explained more clearly. As it is, we can only guess.
Don't mention The Wires!!!
